--and I don't get out much--has been hostile to the idea of
improved public transport.
If the politicians in El Paso had courage and creativity, they would
think about putting in street cars and improving bus service.
I do not believe it costs more than personal automobiles. You can
get the conclusion that public transport doesn't pay if you ignore
the costs associated with the use of private automobiles:
the construction of environment destroying roads, road construction
which contributes to global warming and makes an anti-pedestrian
culture...as well as the problems of social isolation and road rage....
and the problem of road accidents and deaths due to alcohol consumption.
There are even parts of the US where you can use public transport to go
home after a night out....
